Benefits of going electric

Choosing one of our electric and hybrid cars brings a host of advantages that go beyond just driving. It’s a better way to move, for your wallet, the planet, and your daily enjoyment.

  • Lower running costs

    Say goodbye to expensive fuel station visits. Charging an electric car at home costs significantly less per mile than running a petrol or diesel equivalent. EVs also have fewer moving parts in the engine, meaning servicing is often simpler and cheaper.

  • A smoother, quieter drive

    The moment you press the accelerator in an electric car, you feel the difference. The power is instant, smooth and almost silent. This creates a more relaxing and refined driving experience, whether you're navigating city streets or cruising on the motorway.

  • Zero tailpipe emissions

    Fully electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, which is great for the environment and helps to improve local air quality. This also means you can drive through Clean Air Zones and London's ULEZ without paying a charge, saving you money on every trip.

  • Tax and financial incentives

    Driving an electric car comes with financial perks. Most pure electric vehicles are exempt from annual road tax (VED), and if you're a company car driver, the Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rates are substantially lower than for petrol or diesel cars.

  • Home electric car charging

    This is the easiest and most cost-effective way to charge your EV. By having a dedicated wallbox charger installed on your drive or in your garage, you can simply plug your car in overnight, just like your smartphone. You’ll wake up every morning with a full battery, ready for the day ahead. Home chargers are much faster and safer than using a standard three-pin plug.

  • Public electric car charging

    The UK's public charging network is vast and constantly expanding, making longer journeys simple. You'll find chargers at motorway service stations, supermarkets, public car parks, and dedicated charging hubs. There are two main types you'll use on the go:

    • Rapid chargers: These are the fastest, typically found on motorways and major roads. They can provide a significant charge (up to 80%) in as little as 30-45 minutes – perfect for a quick top-up while you grab a coffee.

    • Fast chargers: These are commonly found in locations like supermarket car parks or town centres. They are ideal for adding a good amount of range while you’re shopping or out for a couple of hours.

Finance explained

We offer simple and flexible ways to fund your new electric car, helping you spread the cost into manageable monthly payments.

  • Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

    PCP financing offers lower monthly payments because you are deferring a portion of the car's value to the end of the agreement. When the term finishes, you have three flexible options: pay the final balloon payment to own the car, trade it in for a new one, or simply hand it back.

  • Hire Purchase (HP)

    HP is a straightforward way to buy your car. You pay a deposit followed by fixed monthly payments. Once you’ve made the final payment, the car is yours to keep. The monthly payments are higher than with PCP, but there's no large final payment to worry about.

  • Benefits of financing with Arbury

    • Personal guidance from start to finish: Our in-house sales experts are here to be your personal guide. Their role is to explain your options in plain English, answer every question you have, and ensure you feel confident and in control throughout the entire process.

    • A swift and straightforward process: We believe in less paperwork and more driving. Our application process is designed to be quick and easy, as we handle the details and administration for you. We aim to secure a decision promptly, so you can get behind the wheel of your new car sooner.

    A competitive rate tailored to you: With access to a wide panel of trusted finance providers, we can compare the market on your behalf. This allows us to find a highly competitive interest rate and build a finance plan that is perfectly suited to your budget and circumstances.

EV information

EV 'How To'

EV Myth-busting

Electric cars: frequently asked questions

  • What’s the difference between an electric and a hybrid car?

    A fully electric car (EV) runs only on electricity from a rechargeable battery. A hybrid car (HEV) has both a petrol or diesel engine and a small electric motor, which work together to improve efficiency. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) has a larger battery that you can charge, allowing you to drive a significant distance on pure electric power before the engine takes over.

  • How far can an electric car go on a single charge?

    The range varies by model, but most modern electric cars offer a real-world range of between 150 and 300 miles. This is more than enough for the vast majority of daily journeys.

  • How long does it take to charge an electric car?

    This depends on the car's battery size and the charger's speed. A full charge at home using a 7kW wallbox typically takes 6-12 hours (ideal for overnight). A rapid public charger can add up to 100 miles of range in around 30 minutes.

  • Are electric cars expensive to run?

    No, their running costs are much lower. Electricity is cheaper per mile than petrol or diesel, servicing is less expensive, and pure EVs are often exempt from road tax and clean air zone charges.

  • What is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV)?

    A PHEV is a type of electric hybrid car that offers the best of both worlds. You can charge the battery for a pure electric range (typically 30-50 miles) for local trips, and you still have a petrol engine for longer journeys without needing to stop to charge.

  • Do I need a special charger at home?

    While you can use a standard 3-pin plug in an emergency, we strongly recommend a dedicated home wallbox charger. It’s faster, safer, and more convenient for daily use.

  • What happens to the battery warranty if I buy a used EV?

    The manufacturer's battery warranty is transferable to the new owner. Most are valid for eight years or 100,000 miles from the date of first registration, offering great peace of mind when buying a used model.

  • Is the UK public charging network reliable?

    Yes, the network has grown massively and is more reliable than ever. Live maps on apps like Zapmap show you the location and status of chargers, and payment is becoming easier with contactless card readers on most new units.

  • Are electric cars difficult to maintain?

    Not at all. With far fewer moving parts than a traditional engine (no oil, spark plugs, or exhaust systems), servicing is often simpler and required less frequently. Key checks include brakes, tyres, and battery health.

  • Can I trade in my petrol or diesel car for an electric one?

    Absolutely. We welcome all part-exchanges and will give you a fair, competitive price for your current vehicle to put towards any of our new or used electric cars for sale.
